山东省济宁市兖州区2022-2023学年高一下学期期中英语试题 学校:_____姓名：_____班级：_____考号：_____ 一、阅读理解 When it comes to perfect views, it really does take a village.

It makes the Zoo the first officially recognized organization in North America to hatch (孵化) and raise the species. Three Indian narrow-headed softshell turtles have been at the Zoo for over 20 years. All that time, zoo staff had been hoping they would one day reproduce. “This is a thrilling moment for us, and a big step forward in the protection of this species,” said Kim Gray, director of the Zoo.
